Another adaption is that they have large teeth and retractable claws, which allows them to kill their prey easily.http://animals.pawnation.com/environment-adaptations-tigers-6073.htmlIndochinese Tigers live in the high isolated areas of the tropical rain forests.http://bioexpedition.com/indochinese-tiger/http://www.tutorvista.com/science/tiger-food-webThe 2010 estimate of the Indochinese Tiger population in around 350.DeerAcornhttp://animals.pawnation.com/indochinese-tigers-eat-2632.htmlWild PigWormTigerAntelopeBushBuffaloGreen FeedGrassCattleGrassTiger: Tertiary ConsumerPig: Secondary ConsumerWorm: Primary ConsumerGrass: ProducerMany wildlife conservation organizations carry out research and surveys to identify tiger habitat, tiger prey and tiger population numbers. They also train protected area personnel and rangers to carry out surveys, and to effectively manage protected areas where tigers are found.Lastly all hunting or poaching has become illegal. The efforts are working as surveys suggest the population has increased by almost 20 tigers.The organizations that are working on conservation of the Indochinese Tiger include WWF, Save the Tiger foundation, Wildlife conservation foundation of America, etc...
